Produktbeschreibung
A collection of autobiographical, fantastical and odd essays, short stories and columns, it's rites of passage narrative is unsettling, upsetting, darkly humorous and oddly uplifting, and charts a deeply personal course that, at times, it's audience will be intimately familiar with and instantly able to relate to. The central strand running through a lot of the book is punk, with the odd foray into science fiction. The second book from the fevered and over-wrought mind of Tim Cundle. Accompanied by the imaginative and beguiling art of Rachel Evans. "If you have ever read and enjoyed Dan O' Mahoney's 'Four Letter Word', Henry Rollins' 'Black Coffee Blues' or just simply enjoy the art of telling a good story then 'What Would Gary Gygax Do?' is definitely worth your time" -Apathy & Exhaustion "The cultural reference points outside punk and hardcore are the likes of Planet of the Apes, Scooby Doo, Tiswas, Grange Hill and, of course, Star Wars. If you like taking a dry sardnonic potshot at life this book is for you" -Louder Than War

Autorenporträt
Tim Cundle stumbled into the punk scene sometime in the mid-nineteen eighties and his life has never been the same since. Having worked as riflery instructor and drug counsellor and studied both English Literature and Behavioural Science at University, he decided his career lay down a different path and, having written for local newspapers since he was fifteen, did what most aspiring writers do. He became a journalist. Currently the editor of Mass Movement Magazine, he has also contributed to, and written for, Doctor Who Magazine, Big Cheese, Fracture and many other publications. A lifelong geek and Disney, Star Wars and comic book fanatic, he spends far too much time obsessing over obscure Hardcore and Crossover bands, playing Dungeons & Dragons, reading genre literature, devoting himself to television shows and films that most people would consider to be puerile, recording and presenting the Mass Movement Presents podcast with his partner in audio crime Chris Andrews, drinking too much coffee, indulging his passion for craft beer and watching Professional Wrestling and Ice Hockey. After "singing" for two Hardcore bands, Charlies Family Crisis and AxTxOxTx, he now considers that chapter of his life to be closed and the chances of him doing the band thing again are slim to non-existent. However, just like Sean Connery, Tim learned a long time ago to never say never again, so who knows? You may see him on stage again. But you probably won't. The Best of Mass Movement: The Digital Years Volumes I & II are the result of a crazy five year period that saw Mass Movement reluctantly enter, and make its mark on the digital age. They are a testament to Tim's enduring love of the written word and the underground and capture the essence of a magazine and website that celebrated, and continues to champion, punk rock and geek culture. Tim lives in a small, sleepy Welsh village with his wife Emma and daughter Siobhan and keeps himself busy by working on his upcoming books and Mass Movement, which takes up far too much of his time. He dreams about muscle cars, Disney World and disappearing to live in a small cabin in the wild woods of Tennessee.
